It was the morning through the shutters closed	A
Along the balcony the earliest rays	B
Of sunlight my dark room were entering	C
When at the time that sleep upon our eyes	D
Its softest and most grateful shadows casts	E
There stood beside me looking in my face	F
The image dear of her who taught me first	G
To love then left me to lament her loss	H
To me she seemed not dead but sad with such	I
A countenance as the unhappy wear	J
Her right hand near my head she sighing placed	K
Dost thou still live she said to me and dost	L
Thou still remember what we were and are	M
And I replied Whence comest thou and how	N
Beloved and beautiful Oh how how I	O
Have grieved still grieve for thee Nor did I think	P
Thou e'er couldst know it more and oh that thought	Q
My sorrow rendered more disconsolate	Q
But art thou now again to leave me	R
I fear so Say what hath befallen thee	R
Art thou the same What preys upon thee thus	S
Oblivion weighs upon thy thoughts and sleep	T
Envelops them she answered I am dead	Q
And many months have passed since last we met	Q
What grief oppressed me as these words I heard	Q
And she continued In the flower of youth	U
Cut off when life is sweetest and before	V
The heart that lesson sad and sure hath learnt	Q
The utter vanity of human hope	W
The sick man may e'en covet as a boon	X
That which withdraws him from all suffering	C
But to the young Death comes disconsolate	Q
And hard the fate of hope that in the grave	Y
Is quenched And yet how vain that knowledge is	Z
That Nature from the inexperienced hides	A2
And a blind sorrow is to be preferred	Q
To wisdom premature Hush hush I cried	Q
Unhappy one and dear My heart is crushed	Q
With these thy words And art thou dead indeed	Q
O my beloved and am I still alive	B2
And was it then in heaven decreed that this	C2
Thy tender body the last damps of death	D2
Should feel and my poor wretched frame remain	E2
Unharmed Oh often often as I think	P
That thou no longer livest and that I	O
Shall never see thee on the earth again	F2
Incredible it seems Alas alas	G2
What is this thing that they call death Oh would	Q
That I this day the mystery could solve	H2
And my defenceless head withdraw from Fate's	G2
Relentless hate I still am young and still	I2
Feel all the blight and misery of age	J2
Which I so dread and distant far it seems	G2
But ah how little different from age	J2
The flower of my years We both were born	K2
She said to weep unhappy were our lives	G2
And heaven took pleasure in our sufferings	G2
Oh if my eyes with tears I added then	F2
My face with pallor veiled thou seest for loss	G2
Of thee and anguish weighing on my heart	Q
Tell me was any spark of pity or of love	L2
For the poor lover kindled in thy heart	Q
While thou didst live I then between my hope	W
And my despair passed weary nights and days	G2
And now my mind is with vain doubts oppressed	Q
Oh if but once compassion smote thee for	V
My darkened life conceal it not from me	R
I pray thee let the memory console me	R
Since of their future our young days were robbed	Q
And she Be comforted unhappy one	M2
I was not churlish of my pity whilst	Q
I lived and am not now myself so wretched	Q
Oh do not chide this most unhappy child	Q
By all our sufferings and by the love	L2
Which preys upon me I exclaimed and by	O
Our youth and by the hope that faded from	N2
Our lives O let me dearest touch thy hand	Q
And sweetly sadly she extended it	Q
And while I covered it with kisses while	O2
With sorrow and with rapture quivering	C
I to my panting bosom fondly pressed it	Q
With fervent passion glowed my face and breast	Q
My trembling voice refused its utterance	G2
And all things swam before my sight when she	R
Her eyes fixed tenderly on mine replied	Q
And dost thou then forget dear friend that I	O
Am of my beauty utterly deprived	Q
And vainly thou unhappy one dost yield	Q
To passion's transports Now a last farewell	P2
Our wretched minds our feeble bodies too	Q
Eternally are parted Thou to me	R
No longer livest nevermore shall live	B2
Fate hath annulled the faith that thou hast sworn	K2
Then in my anguish as I seemed to cry	O
Aloud convulsed my eyes o'erflowing with	Q2
The tears of utter helpless misery	R
I started from my sleep The image still	I2
Was seen and in the sun's uncertain light	Q
Above my couch she seemed to linger still	I2
